Story Arcs

Rainbow Fruit Arc

Johannes makes his first appearance in the story quite early. He and Komatsu meet with Toriko at the World Kitchen. He then requests Toriko's services in capturing the Rainbow Fruit, warning him of the Troll Kongs that were guarding it.

Four Beast Arc

Johannes arrives at the Center of Human World to speak with the top ranked Chefs present including Komatsu. The Four Beast had poisoned the populace of Human World and 100,000,000 were affected and would perish in roughly an hour's time. Chef Sumire stated that despite their immense skill, the top Chefs present could only manage to make 50,000,000 portions in time and none of their subordinates would be of any help as the skill needed to prepare the Purple Mochi antidote was too great. Johannes made a hard decision and said that they would need to quickly choose which half of the 100,000,000 afflicted people would be given the antidote. But Chef Komatsu pleaded to be given 10 minutes, and in just that amount of time, he would simplify the preparation process to such an extent, that any Chef could prepare the antidote. He was reluctantly granted the 10 minutes and to Johannes' surprises, Komatsu was successful and they managed to save the entirety of the 100,00,000 people from death.

Cooking Festival Arc

After the mass destruction of Bishokukai Boss Midora's Meteor Spice and the traitors among their ranks wreaking more havoc, Johannes and Rei were the only 2 Bureau Chiefs left from the IGO, with Mansam being incapacitated. They did their best to maintain order and managed to revive Mansam by pouring liquor on his crippled body. Mansam's Gourmet Cells react strongly with liquor and he was revived. Upon awakening, Mansam took on the role as President of the IGO as he was the most senior member of the IGO at that point. And Johannes during the time skip was promoted to the position of Development Bureau Chief.
